If I may coin the term "ancona moment" (at least for the moment) I will pass along my version that happened yesterday AND today (our daughter still has not emailed the details of her encounter with the dumbasses at TSA).
Yesterday I went to renew my Driver's License, which is now more of a pain in the butt than it used to be. So (after being advised by a cop here what I needed to bring) I went over to the place where I (we) had it done last. They were gone (moved)! Grrr... Almost half a day wasted...
So I Googled DMV and Miami and got the nearest place (downtown Miami). Went down there today, walked in, the guy said "take a number", I did and then I waited. There were only about 12 ahead of me. When that number was down to about only 5 or so ahead of me, I heard a worker-bee there say "registrations only here!" (at her window). I then asked the security guard if I could get my driver's license renewed here, he said no (of course). But, he was kind enough to give me a list of locations that do that, all are far from where we live... Grrr...
Zero for Two!
Check out the documents you need (for Florida), just to renew:
-- old Driver's License (used to be ALL you needed)
-- US passport or birth certificate (state issued, not hospital)
-- Social Security Card (or other proof of your SS #)
-- two utility bills proving you live here

DoChenRollingBearing sincerely invites members of Al-Qaeda to get lined up in front of the iron sights of my AK-47 for a display of "how I feel" now that you bastids made our .gov create "Homeland Security".
